Ah, Traverse City, where I once shook President Gerald Fords hand at the annual Cherry Festival parade as a kid. If I was commissioned to build a marina, I would copy this one. The Harbor Master gave us a slip at “A” Dock #19 close to the club house with a great view. We spent four nights hear coming in on Aug. 12th from Suttons Bay on a calm sunny morning. The weather was a bit cool and cloudy these last few days but typical of a Michigan summer vacation with cool nights and nice days.
On the 13th, we took a bus tour of wine country and Brys Estates is still our favorite one with the best Cheese and Charcuterie boards and views of traverse bay. On the 14th, Sally Wunderle-Seipp and hubby Frank paid us a visit and we went for a little cruise and a nice dinner at Apache Trout. We haven’t seen Sally for about 10 years when we were heavily into archery competition and it was sure nice spending time with them.
We walked the town many times in the last few days shopping and even took care of a lot of things like hair and nails for Val. Bill at Blue Water Sail and Canvas did a great job in a timely fashion getting repairs done on our seat cover. We even took the dinghy out to go grocery shopping at Tom’s on Bay Street. There where 4 other looper boats plus one Gold looper here and we stayed right next to Jim and Julie on “Journey” from Virginia who have been looping since May.
You can track all the boats on an app called Nebo and look for the AGLCA logo for loopers. You can even see us moving while you are logged in. Off to Leland this morning.
Tip of the day: You can use your coaster on the top of your wine glass to keep out fruit flies.
